There are few things more wild and beautiful than wild horses and waves crashing over the sea. I'd have placed your haiku as a definite first, Jan.

Wonderful write, Jan. Captures the moment, and PRETTIER than a (mere) picture. (Hope you don't think that's quaint "old-phogey-ness:" It's a compliment to the skill of the poet, you!)....Captures a trophy too; no surprise there. Best of everything, gw

Jan, yours is one of the better ones I am seeing. I will be surprised if it isn't picked. I can't believe I entered mine with a title. duh!!!! I went and changed it to untitled but maybe I'm too late. Crap.

Jan Allison
Date: 4/17/2018 3:10:00 AM

Gee I hope he accepts haiku as a title - at the end of the day its the poem that should be judged, I got inspired by watching the sea yesterday:-):-) hugs jan

A dramatic image you have created here Jan, a ferocious sea is awesome to witness, from a safe distance of course . Good luck . Tom.

Jan Allison
Date: 4/16/2018 4:22:00 PM

Thanks Tom I was actually sitting in the car watching the sea from a distance but the foam was still floating in the air and reached the windscreen - got bad conditions tomorrow so the boat mail not sail but we will probably walk down to the bay and see the sea in all its glory and take some pics:-) hugs jan xx
